Sample The Dog - Timbuk 3

Sitting in a living room in a condo

Gazmo’s on the rug with little Cassy-O

Gazmo’s gettin nervous

Cassy wants to sample the dog.

She says:

«Bark, howl, do what you like

But if you’re going to growl, just growl into the mike

We’re gonna play a game called sample the dog»

Sample the dog…

There’s a new age family out in North Carolina

A dog named Jamaica, a daughter named China

A son who plays in a band called Sample the Dog

Third world music on the stereo

Dust on the keys of the piano

& China’s in the kitchen tryin to sample the dog

Sample the dog…

Now Cassy can’t read & China can’t write

& the Board of Education mumbles in the night

A prayer for our nation: «Lord let us

Sample the dog… «The exact same thing is happenin today

In a million homes across the usa

Everybody’s workin, tryin to sample the dog
